An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card #2 (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Kiss of Death, the classic 1947 Henry Hathaway crime film noir ("20th Century-Fox Sensation!"; "It will mark you for life as it marked him for... Betrayal!"; "Based on a Story by Eleazer Lipsky"; "Screen Play by Ben Hecht and Charles Lederer") starring Victor Mature, Brian Donlevy, Coleen Gray (billed as "Introducing Coleen Gray"), Richard Widmark (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; as the psychopathic killer, Tommy Udo, who, in one of the cinema's most memorable scenes, laughs as he pushes a woman in a wheelchair down a flight of stairs!), Patricia Morison (while she was billed on the poster and listed in the credits, her scenes were cut from the film for being too shocking), Taylor Holmes, Robert Keith, Howard Smith, and Karl Malden (in his third credited movie role!). Note that when this movie was first released, 20th Century-Fox knew they had a very "special" movie, and they created a one-sheet that was intentionally black and white, with no white borders, which is very striking. They did NOT realize that Richard Widmark would become a star off of his portrayal of a psychopath, so he was not pictured on the one-sheet or the other advertising, and even when they re-released the movie in 1953, they simply reused the image from the 1947 one-sheet (oddly, adding color), and still, Widmark was not pictured.
